Shop girl Poppy Fairchurch knows it’s pointless fantasizing about the Duke of Autenberry. Still, dreams can’t hurt anyone . . . unlike the carriage Poppy spies bearing down upon the unsuspecting duke. After she pulls him to safety, the duke lapses into a coma and Poppy is mistaken for his fiancée. But one person isn’t fooled: his arrogant and much too handsome half-brother, Struan Mackenzie. Soon Poppy isn’t sure what she wants more . . . the fantasy of her duke or the reality of one smoldering Scot who challenges her at every turn.

...is not who you think.

An illegitimate second son, Struan may have built an empire and established himself as one of the wealthiest men in Britain, but he knows he will always be an outsider among the ton. Just like he knows the infuriating Poppy is a liar. There’s no way the haughty Duke of Autenberry would deign to wed a working class girl. It doesn’t matter how charming she is. Or tempting. Or how much Struan wants her for himself.

Get a sneak peek at Sophie Jordan 's While the Duke Was Sleeping (available October 25, 2016) with an exclusive excerpt of a selected scene.

Sweet heavens, he was going to kiss her again. Yes, yes, please.

Struan pulled back slightly and growled against her lips. “Kiss me, Poppy.”

Her name on his lips broke something loose inside her. Ignited her. She leaned into his mouth, finally kissing him back, starved, touching her tongue to his.

He made a deep growl of approval, his hands gripping her thighs tighter and hefting her higher. She squeaked and gripped his shoulders.

Today we're thrilled to welcome Sophie Jordan to Heroes and Heartbreakers. Sophie's latest release in her Debutante Files series, All the Ways to Ruin a Rogue, came out July 28. Sophie is here today to talk about just 10 delicious ways to ruin a rogue. Thanks, Sophie!

1. Draw an unflattering picture of him and leave it for people to find (oops!).

2. Insult his manhood in his teenage years so that all his friends invent a rude nickname for him that follows him into adulthood (did not predict that happening!).

3. Show up at his club (where no gently bred young lady should go) and challenge him to a game of cards (this time not an oops!).

4. Win his clothes in said card game so that he ultimately sits bare-assed in front of you and a houseful of people (yes, doing this on purpose now and enjoying self immensely).

Today we're joined by author Sophie Jordan, whose A Good Debutante's Guide to Ruin is out today! Sophie's good debutante takes on a bad persona when she discovers the only man she wants is her stepbrother, the Duke of Banbury, who's charged with marrying her off (and definitely not to him). And since the duke frequents a private club called Sodom—so will she! Rosalie dons a disguise to enter the club—and get her man. And of course she causes talk about her behavior. Sophie is here to talk about ways to get yourself talked about, whether it's good or bad talk. Thanks, Sophie!

These are ten sure-fired ways to get your name on everyone’s lips … whether it’s Regency England and you’re under the scrutiny of the ton — or it’s 2014 and you’re swimming in shark-infested waters of your own social circles. Here goes:

1. Wear Something Naughty.
That's always asking for trouble … and a definite way to get tongues wagging. But hey, if a girl is gonna get booted out of the metaphorical “cool lunchroom table”, she might as well go down fighting…
